The birth of the plumbing profession in the Philippines is traced back to the 17th
century. The W ALI .ED CITY known as Intramuros was established by the Spaniards as
a model conununity. The Friar Engineers who built the government buildings, residential
and other structures. incorporated European standards in their plumbing installations.
During the 18th and 1 cJh centuries, the Filipino plumbers were assigned the task of
maintaining, repairing and/or remodeling plumbing systems in all "pueblos" or towns
including churches, convents and government buildings.
The recognized plumbers then were called upon by the ''ilustrados" or the elite
group to act as consultants of plumber journeymen on matters pertaining to plumbing
installations in villas and mansions.
PLUMBING took a great lr.-ap at the tum of the 20th century with theo arrival of
the American soldiers, engineers, Thomasite teachers, doctors and evangelists. Health
and hygiene became priority when epidemics including cholera, leprosy. schistosomiasis
and other contagious diseases engulfed the Philippines. Alanned, Governor General
Harrison issued a letter of instruction on proper waste disposal in all municipalities.
Sometime in 1902, the PLUMBING TRADE was duly recognized by the
government. The City of Manila was the model community. Master Plumber John F.
Hass became the first Chief of the Division of Plumbing Construction and Inspection.
Through the initiative of the Filipino Master Plumbers, a plumbing code based on
the Plumbing Code of the United States was incorporated into the Building Code for the
City of Manila.
In 1935, Francisco Geronimo, Mariano de Ocampo, lgmidio Suarez, Eusebio
Mina. Jose Rivera, Raymundo Reyes, Sr., Roberto Feliciano, Gregorio Lazaro,
Raymundo Gumapac, John Jones, Trinitario Ortiz, Valentin Casupanan, Catalino
Casupanan. Crispin F11Ulcisco, Teodoro Pastor, Cornelio Odvina and Jesus Tangbal Dera
organized the National Master Plumbers Association of the Philippines (NAMP AP) and
had it registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Initiated by N AMP AP, the Department of Public Services of the City of Manila
was created by an Act of Congress. City Ordinance 2411, otherwise known as "the
Plumbing City of Manila" was enacted in consultation with NAMPAP. The
practice of plumbing was eventually placed under the Department of Public Services,
Manila.
The National Government, through the Bureau of Public Works, and other cities
and municipalities adopted the Plumbing Code of Manila. NAMP AP spearheaded the
enactment of a law regulating the practice of master plumbing in the Philippines.
\iii
In 1954, the Third Congress of the Republic of the Philippines in its Second
Session, approved after the third reading House Bill No. 962. This became Republic Act
No.l378. On June 18, 1955, R.A. 1378, otherwise known as the "PLUMBING LAW OF
THE PlillJPPINES" was signed by President Ramon Magsaysay.
On January 28, 1959, the National Plumbing Code of the Philippines prepared by
the NAMPAP was promulsated and approved by Malacai\ang. NAMPAP also assisted in
the passage of the law creating the National Waterworks and Sewerage Authority
(NAWASA).
In 1966-1969, the Board of Examiners for Master Plumbers and the NAMPAP
prepared a Cuniculum for Plumbing Engineering that was approved by the Department
of Education and was first introduced at the Feati University.
On November 28, 1967, the First Amendment to the National Plumbing Code was
approved, which effected the inclusion of "AsbestosCement Pipe" as an approved
plumbing material.
Before Martial Law in 1972, Republic Act No. 6541 otherwise known as the
Building Code of the Philippines" was passed with the "National Plumbing Code of
1959" as referral code in full text.
In 1996, NAMPAP President JAIME M. CABASE spearheaded the updating of
the Revised National Plumbing Code. Finally, in October 1999, NAMPAP submitted the
Draft Code to the Board of Master Plumbers (BOMP) Chaired by Engr. FORTIJNATO
H. AMOSCO. After careful review, the Professional Regulation Commission under
Chairman HERMOGENES POBRE adopted the Revised Plumbing Code of 1999 wruch
His Excellency, President JOSEPH EJERCITO ESTRADA approved last December 21,
1999 pursuant to Section 4 ofR.A. 1378 known as the Plumbing Law.
In order to continuously upgrade the technical expertise of Master Plumbers and
propagate the growth of the plumbing industry; NAMP AP have caused the holding of
regular National Convention as well as Regional Conferences such as LUZON,
VJSAYAS and MINDANAO, as well as the Midyear Forum where manufacturers,
dealers and suppliers of plumbing tools, equipment, materials and services are given the
opportunity to conduct product presentations for the benefit of the plumbing practitioners.

Preface
An adequate Plumbing Code is one of the most important
governances in modem and healthful human existence. It involve the
three basic necessities of life, such as: AIR, WATER and FOOD.
The plumbing systems: water supply, sewage collection and
disposal and stormwater drainage involve the right choice of materials,
the economical design of the systems and their proper operation and
maintenance. The supply of adequate hot, cold and chilled water, the
efficient conveyance and disposal of wastewater such as food wastes and
human excreta from plumbing fiXtures require provision of enough air,
which will result to the efficient installation of the systems.
Plumbing practice has grown in scope and magnitude with the
progress in complexities of constructions such as high rise buildings
with multi -level basement floors that now require electro- mechanical
equipment and controls. The dwindling water resources intensify water
use conservation. Modem or state-of-the-art plumbing installation now
require the close coordination of works among Master Plumbers,
Architects and Engineers to come up with the most efficient and
economical plumbing installations.
I wish to thank wholeheartedly those who have given their time in
making available their expertises by discussing with us certain important
aspects of this Revised National Plumbing Code of the Philippines. Many
of them have unselfishly rendered invaluable assistance in criticizing and
improving our text and for innumerable insights into this complex
subject. Also, my thanks go to my wife CONCEPCION 0. CABASE for her
untiring full support in pursuing this major activities of NAMPAP.

inspection and testing after notice to uncover the work that has been
issued to the responsible person at the job site by the Plumbing Inspector.
Testing
Responsibility - the equipment, material and labor necessary for
inspections or tests shall be furnished by the person to whom the permit
is issued or by whom insi')ection is requested.
Media - the piping of the plumbing, drainage and venting system shall
be tested with water or air. The Administrative Authority requires the

testing medium has reached all parts of the system. After the plumbing
fixtures have been set and their traps filled with water, they shall be
submitted again for a final test.
Water Test - the water test shaH be applied to the drainage and vent
systems either in its entirety or in sections. If applied to t!le entire
system, all openings in the piping shall be tightly closed, except the
highest opening, and the system filled with water to the point of
overflow. If the system is tested in sections, each opening shalt b'!
tightly plugged except the highest opening of the section under test, and
each section shall be filled with water, but no section shall be tested with
less than a 3meter head of water. In testing successive sections at least
the upper 3 meters height of the preceding section previously tested shall
be tested again so that no joint or pipe in the building (except the
uppermost 3 meter of the system) shall have been submitted to a test of
not less than 3 meters head of water. The water shaH be kept in the pi!3e

Except where the type of the pipe used and the water characteristics are such
that no decrease in capacity due to length of service (age of system) may be
expected, all friction Joss data shall be obtained from the "Fairly Rough" or
.. Rough'' charts in Appendix A of this Code. Friction or pressure losses in
water meter, valve and fittings shall be obtained from the same sources.
Pressure loses through water treating equ,pment. Back flow prevention
devices, or other flow restricting devices shall be computed as required in
subsection 609.2 of this section.
For proposed water piping installation sized using Table 6-6 the following
conditions shall be determined:
Total number of fixture units (F.U.) determined from the Table of
Equivalent Fixture Units (Table 6-5) for the fixtures to be installed;
Developed length of supply pipe from water meter to the most remote
outlet;
Difference in elevation between the water meter or other source of water
supply and the highest fi xture or outlet to be
Water Pressure in the street main or other source of water supply in the
local ity where the installation is to be made; and
ln localities where there is a fluctuation of water pressure in the main
throughout the day, the water piping system shall be designed on the basis
ofthe minimum pressure available.
Size of Water Meter and Building Supply Pipe Using Table
Knowing the available pressure at the water meter or other source of supply,
and after subtracting 9. 79 kPa per m of difference in elevation between
such source of supply and highest water supply outlet in the building or on
the premises, use the "Pressure Range" group within which this pressure
will fall. Select the "Length" column which is equal to or longer than the
required length. Follow down the column to a fixture unit value equal to or
greater than the total number of f1xture units required by the installation.
Having located the proper fixture unit value for the required length, sizes of
meter and building supply pipe will be found in the two left-hand columns.
No building water service pipe shall be less than 19 r!tm in diameter.

Water Supply and Distribution
609. I 1.3 Starting at the most remote outlet on the cold water piping and working back
toward the water meter, compute the pipe sizing for the system from the
column originally selecled in Table 6-6 using the fixture unit valves given in
Table 6-5 and adding in the fixture unit demand of the hot water heater
supply inlet as computed in 609.11.1 above, at the point where it occurs.
The final size of the cold water branch or main need not exceed the
originally established size ofthe building supply.
609. 12 Except as provided in Subsection 609.11, water piping systems may be
designed by taking the total length of the supply piping from the source of
c.o!d water supply through the water heater, to the most remote hot water
outlet and assessing flow values of seventy-five (75) percent of the
combined hot and cold water demand as given in Table 6-5 to the piping
supplying either hot or cold water to those fixtures served by both. Piping
serving water heaters plus all required cold water demand, shall be sized to
deliver the required hot water demand, but in no case need the piping be
larger in size than that required by Table 6-6 for the total building supply.
609.13 Exceptions: The provisions of this Section relative to size of water piping
need not apply to the following:
609.13.1 Water supply piping systems designed in accordance with recognized
engineering procedures acceptable to 1l1e Administrative Authority;
609. 13.2 A Iteration of or minor additions to existing installations. provided the
Authority finds that there will be a reasonably adequate

RULES FOR SIZING THE
W A l'ER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Because of the variable conditions encountered, it is impractical to lay down
dt>finitc detailed mles of procedure for determining the sizes of water supply
pipes in an appendix which must necessarily be limited in length.
The following is a suggested order of procedure for sizing the water supply
system.
A. l Preliminary Information
A 1.1 Obtain the necessary information regarding the mtrumum daily service
pressure in the area where the building is to be located.
A 1.2 If the huilding supply is to be metered, obtain information regarding friction
Joss relative to the rate of flow for meters in the range of sizes likely to be
used. Friction-loss data can be obtained from most manutacturers of water
meters. friction losses for disk type meters may be obtained fmm

A 2.1 Estimate supply demand for tht! building main and the prindpal
branches and riser:; of 1he system by totaling the fixture units on
Tabk. A-l, and then by reading the mJinate from Chart A-2
or :\-3, is applicJ,bic.

sprinklers, air etc, and add sum f.o the total demand fer
ti.xtures. The H'sult is mpply d:;:manJ ofthe building supply
A.J FR!CTlON LOSS
A 3.1 De-;:ide what is the minimum pr!!ssurc that should be maintained
at tht! highest fixture in supply system. lf the groul) of the
fDctures contains flushometer valves, the fbr the gruup shou!J r:cl
tK! less 10.3.42 kl,a. For flush lank the availc..blc
may not be less than 55.16 ld,a.

Reoomm!lnded Rules for Sizing tha
Water Sup()ly System
1\ 3.4 Determine the developed l'ength of pipe from the water (street) main to the
highest tlxture. lf close estimates are desired, compute with the aid of
1 abk A-2 !he equivalent length of pipe t()r all fittings in the line from the
water {slrcct} main to the highest ftxturc and add the sum to the developed
length. The pressure avtt ilable for friction loss in kPa di vided by the
leugths of pipe hom the water (street) main to the highest
fl x'.ure, times one hundred ( lOO), will be the average permissible friction
losg per 30 4 11\. length or pipe.
A OF BUILDING SUPtLY
A."'l
A 4. l Knowing the permissible triction loss per 30.4 m of pipe and the total
demand, the diameter of the building supply pipe may be obtained from
Charts A-:t, or A-7, whichever is applicable. The diarnctt:r of
pipe on or next above the coordin;Hc point corresponding to
total demand and the pcrmis!'ibk fiit.:tion loss will be the size needed up
the first from the building supply pipe
A 4.2 If copper tubing or brass pipe is to be used for the supply piping, and if the
character of the water is such that only light changes in the hydmuli c
characteristics may be expcctt' d, Chart A-4 may be used.
A 4.3 Chart should be used fl>r ferrus pipe w:t h only the most favon:h!e
\\atcr supply as corrosiun and cakinll. If tbc watef is m
Charts A-6 or A 7 wiil be applicat>le. For extremel y hard

manner the building !;11pply by obtaining the demand load on Cillh
b1nnch or 1i scr and using permissible compuwd :n
A 5.2 Fi xture branches to the building supply, if they are sized for the same
thction loss per 30.4 m of pipe as the branches and ris:rs to
the highest level in the building, may lead to inadequate wate; supply to
the upper floor of a building. This may be controlled by: ( 1) selecting the
sizes of pipe for the different branches so that the total friction los!\ in each
lower branch is approximately equal to the total loss in the riser, including
both friction loss and loss in static pressure; (2) throttling each such
branch by means of a valve until the balance is (3)
}n,.rcasing the of the building supply and risers above the minimum
rcquied to meet maximum permisstble loss.
A 5.3 The size of branches and mains servi ng flushomcter tanks shall be
consistent with sizing procedures for flu5h tank water closets.
A.6 GENFitAL
f\. 6. 1 Velocities shall not exceed 3 m/sec of the maximum values given in the
appropriate installation Standard, except as otherwise eppro"ed by the
Administrative Authority.
A 6.2 If a pressure reducing valve is used in the building supply, the develop-'::d
length of a supply piping and the pennissible friction loss Rhould be
computed from the building side of the valve.
A 6.3 The allowances in Table A-2 for fittings are on
fittings. For recessed threaded fittings and soldered
fittings, one (
